Monster Mechs

Hello everybody welcome to my next Transformers Prime story. Finally I'm making a story based on my main OC Moonstriker. Description is in the story. I have a new OC named Scanner that will be introduced later on! This will probably be my most longest story yet. I still try to be as detailed as I can be but I'm not as good as most people's stories I read. But I try.

NOTES: Story may contain many flashbacks. First story ever that may not contain Bumblebee and a few others (still thinking if they will fit). Animated Shockwave is used in this story. No war but takes place on Cybertron. Prowl's debut in my stories.

I think that's about it...enjoy the story!

Chapter 1: The Monster

Kaon...one of the most dangerous cities on Cybertron. Not many mechs liked living in this city. Some preferred to move out. Only if they had a plan to escape from enforcers. Many have left, but...not without harm of course. There was one mech living amongst all the others. He was very different. Some say he's "Kaon's kind monster". He was in fact what their race was called...a Monster Mech. The mech could be seen walking around, barely talking, or working in construction. He walked slowly and always kept his head down. He was usually depressed. Many mechs were scared of him because of his look despite the fact he would never harm anybody without a good reason. His name was Moonstriker. He had lived in Kaon his whole life but never liked it. All he ever saw was fights, murder, and destruction. Nobody ever picked a fight with Moonstriker because of what he was. Monster mechs are huge mechs that usually are violent and very powerful and could easily crush any mech on the planet. They were considered Primus' most powerful mechs. Most enforcers expect him to be destructive and menacing. But Moonstriker was never interested. He tries to get along with everybody but they are all afraid, even the enforcers back away when he walks by. The first thing many mechs notice when they see him are his 2 long and sharp fangs that are on the sides of his sharp teeth. They reach all the way to the bottom of his chin. Next thing are the large horns on the sides of his head. His entire muscular body is black except with blue lines going down the front and back of his chestplates. All monster mechs included 10 long sharp claws, big feet, and dark-colored optics. Moonstriker's optics were a dark shade of red. Nobody ever dared stare into them wether he was happy, sad or angry. A monster mechs alternate form is a monster truck. Monster truck rallys were held in Iacon which usually have been the only times Moonstriker has been away from Kaon. He was the only monster mech in Kaon while all others were in every other city. One night, Moonstriker was heading home depressed again. He was covered in dirt from the construction sites.

"Man, I'm tired!" Moonstriker said in a voice that sounded angry but tried to be soft.

Moonstriker walked into his house and sunk into the couch to watch some late TV. His optics would close and open repeatedly due to tiredness. The house was silent. Monster Mechs usually were wealthy and owned many expensive stuff. But Moonstriker didn't care much for that stuff. He sighed as he thought about Iacon like he did every night. He actually had a few friends in Iacon but didn't see them a lot. Luckily, they all did com-link a lot. It was hard to get Moonstriker to smile. Some younglings weren't afraid of Moonstriker and like to play with them. Moonstriker would smile when they wanted to play with him. However, the parents were suspicious no matter how kind he was too them.

After a few more minutes Moonstriker decided to go to recharge. He always slept on his right side because it was more comfortable. The next day wasn't anything different...yet. Early that morning, two enforcers were standing around nearbye in an alley. These two were the most cruel enforcers in Kaon. Their names were Barricade and Prowl. The loved their job since they could do whatever they want. However, they always argued a lot which usually let to brawls between them. Brawling was every enforcers way of solving a conflict between each other. Today they were in another heated argument. They stood on opposite side of the alley walls.

"I can't believe you let that mech get away!"

"Don't blame me, you were the one not helping making me do all the work you aft-hole!"

"HEY WATCH YOUR TONE PUNK!"

"SHUT UP YOU SLAGGER!"

Barricade and Prowl's argument was quickly escalating to the point where they ended up walking right up to each other's face and start shoving one another.

"WHY DON'T YOU MAKE ME?

"I'M WARNING YOU!"

"OOH I'M SO SCARED!"

That did it. Prowl shoved Barricade hard into the wall knocking over a pile of scrap. Barricade growled.

"OH IT'S ON FRAGGER!"

Barricade lunges at Prowl knocking him against a dumpster and nearly fell in. The two tussled for short amount of time. Meanwhile, a youngling was walking down the street. He seemed to not have a care in the world. He was different from many others too. He had one optic that glowed red, huge antenna's, razor sharp claws on both hands, and no facial features except the optic. He heard a commotion coming from the alley nearbye. He poked his head in to see the scuffling cops. He decided to walk past the alley but it failed when he accidently kicked a empty energon cube that was lying around. The cops quickly stop brawling and stare at the youngling. The youngling looks back in fear, too stunned to move. Barricade and Prowl look back at each other and smirk.

"Well now, who do we have here?" Barricade asked as he approached the youngling.

"Uh...I don't want any trouble...I was just wondering why you were fighting!" The mech named Shockwave said.

"Doesn't matter why, where are you going?" Prowl asked.

"I was heading to one of my friends house!" Shockwave explained.

"Well, looks like you will be a little late!" Barricade said grabbing Shockwave up by his antenna's.

"OW! HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Shockwave yelped as he was raised in the air.

Shockwave was thrown against the dumpster making a loud bang. The enforcers surrounded the youngling.

"What do you want from me?" Shockwave asked.

"What we want? We want YOU to scream in pain as we pound some dents into ya!" Prowl sneered.

"NO! WAIT! PLEASE!" Shockwave pleaded but it was too late.

The enforcers began to beat the youngling without mercy. Shockwave tried to block their blows but he wasn't fast enough. He kept his optic shut in case they tried to damage it. After another minute, they picked up the beaten youngling and threw him into the dumpster. The dumpster had a lock on it, and yes, the enforcers were cruel enough to lock him in there. The enforcers laughed as they left the alley. Shockwave thrashed and fought inside the dark dumpster desperate for a way out. However, he ended up staying in there for about 15 minutes before he heard footsteps. He screamed.

"HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY LET ME OUT!" Shockwave yelled as he thrashed the dumpster again.

He stayed quiet, he heard the footsteps coming closer and closer, almost careful like. Shockwave listened for any action. He hoped it wasn't the enforcers. Just then the footsteps stopped right in front of the dumpster. Shockwave didn't make a move. Then he heard the dumpster groan as if being tore apart. Just then the flap where the dumpster opens at began to shake. Shockwave watched with a wide-open optic as huge, sharp claws began to appear trying to lift up the flap. Shockwave thought those claws looked familiar. Light appeared as the flap opened more. Shockwave saw large fangs next as the mech finally tore the flap off. Shockwave was now staring at huge horns, a muscular body and worried red optics. Shockwave was speechless. It was Moonstriker that saved him. He himself was surprised and gasped. The mechs just stared at each other waiting for the other to say something.

"M-m-moonstriker?" Shockwave said weakly.

"Are you alright?" Moonstriker asked noticing the dents and claw marks.

In response, Shockwave began to cry. Moonstriker attempted to pick him up since Shockwave couldn't get out the dumpster himself. Shockwave looked back up at the monster mech and tried to reach Moonstriker's clawed-servos. Once he did, Moonstriker pressed Shockwave against his chest. Shockwave felt the warmth coming from his chest and hugged him. Moonstriker, for the first time in a while, smiled, his big fangs bending to support it.

"It's okay, I'll protect you!" Moonstriker assured rubbing the poor youngling's head with a sharp digit careful not to touch his bruises. Moonstriker could see his antenna's were bent, and his paint was ruined. The purple youngling was a mess. Moonstriker didn't know who he belonged to, so Shockwave was brought to Moonstriker's house where he was placed on Moonstriker's bed to recharge. Moonstriker sat in a chair next to the bed and thought. Is this why Primus is been wanting him to stay in Kaon? Will this youngling be his future best friend and travel with him? What did Primus have in store for him? All the answers would probably start coming later on. He didn't know!
